Calculating People is a reading group on history and philosophy of social sciences. This term we continue the theme of what counts as evidence in different disciplines. The group reads leading social science research in alternation with methodological and philosophical articles. All participants commit to doing the reading each time and to attending all sessions. The session starts with each participant briefly describing their impressions/questions on the reading assigned, after which the chair conducts a discussion on the recurring themes.

The meetings take place on Tuesdays, 11am–12noon in the Board Room (but check for location on the monitor in the lobby). Organisers are Christopher Clarke and Anna Alexandrova.
